Shoju's Rating: 10/10 - Wendy really surprised me by actually shooting Yomiko.  Drake's entrance was cool.  The gunshot at the end made for a great cliff hanger.
Episode 18
Posted By: Shoju on January 8, 2004 3:20 P.M. (PST)

Instead of continuing from last night, this episode goes right into the next morning.  Drake is out on watch and Anita has just awoken.  She goes into the bathroom and says good morning to Junior, who is brushing his teeth.  Maggie makes breakfast for everyone.  Yomiko and Nancy are upstairs and Yomiko won't come down for some reason.  Food is brought to them and Drake.  Flashbacks to last night are shown.  Junior was slowly pulling the trigger and Nancy looks back at Yomiko.  Michelle's arrow hit the gun to the side and made the shot fire out at nothing.  Junior drops to the floor and Michelle goes to console him.  Anita and Junior take over the watch so Drake can get some sleep.
Somewhere else, Joker is told that Junior hasn't reported anything for a while.
Nenene joins Anita and Junior and talk about some stuff.  Drake wakes up later and sees everyone outside playing around.  He declines an offer to join them, but changes his mind after seeing Junior with them.  He puts down his gun right next to his and mentions something about Maggie.  Yomiko finally comes out and tells everyone what happened at the Imperial Library years ago.  Junior was the son of Nancy and another I-jin.  They took Junior away from Nancy right away because he was to be the container for Mr. Gentlemen.
Junior looks at the book and phases his hands into them a little bit.  Suddenly they go into a hologram of what happened at the Imperial Library.  Yomiko is telling Joker how displeased she was with what they were doing with Nancy's son.  Joker gets some agents to restrain her and then proceeds to tell her that her husband is still alive.  He apparently shows what he looks like to her and she goes crazy.  Paper flies everywhere and everything is cut.  A fire starts when an electrical cord is cut.  Young Anita is shown screaming as she watches the fire.

 

 
 

Shoju's Rating: 10/10 - Wow.  I really want the manga to get background information now.  Drake's thing with Maggie is very intriguing to me.  Yomiko's story is so good.  I'd like to see what exactly they did with Yomiko's husband.
